2023 Fantasy Outlook
Carrasco's first season with the Mets in 2021 was a disaster as injuries limited him to 12 starts, and he struggled when available with a 6.04 ERA. The right-hander bounced back last season and picked up 15 wins with a 3.97 ERA and 152:41 K:BB across 152 innings (29 starts). He improved both his strikeout (23.6 percent) and walk rates (6.9 percent), and his 46 percent groundball rate was his best since 2018. Carrasco is entering his age-36 season, and his availability can't be guaranteed given his extensive injury history. However, he remains a strong back-end piece for the Mets' rotation after the team exercised his $14 million club option for 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Suffers fractured finger
Carrasco was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a fracture of his right fifth finger and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carrasco had been listed as the probable starter for Wednesday's series finale at Washington, but the Mets will now have to pivot after the veteran right-hander fractured the pinky on his throwing hand Sunday in a weight room incident. It'll be a season-ending setback for Carrasco, who finishes with an ugly 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB across 90 innings (20 starts) with New York. He is scheduled to become a free agent in November.

Carrasco was limited to 12 due to injury during his first year with the Mets and finished with a 6.04 ERA and 21.1 percent strikeout rate over 53.2 innings, but he's entering 2022 in good shape after undergoing surgery early in the offseason. The 35-year-old will be featured at the back end of New York's rotation thanks to the offseason additions of Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt, so he shouldn't be expected to pitch exceptionally deep on the regular. Carrasco had a 2.91 ERA during the shortened 2020 campaign and could be a good value this season, but he'll need to significantly improve upon his results from last year.
